9/24/02... Radar/Satellite Link... 12-15 FOOT WAVES REPORTED ACROSS GULF...
MAX WIND 50 KNOTS... Gulf Beach Cameras... WATCHES AND WARNINGS ISSUED
ACROSS MUCH OF THE GULF COAST... FROM THE NHC: "INTERESTS ELSEWHERE ALONG
THE NORTHERN COAST OF THE GULF OF MEXICO SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF
ISIDORE... ISIDORE IS A LARGE STORM WITH THE CIRCULATION COVERING MUCH OF
THE GULF OF MEXICO... TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 345
MILES... MAINLY TO THE NORTH OF THE CENTER... NOAA BUOYS 42001 AND 42002 IN
THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO HAVE BOTH REPORTED 40 MPH SUSTAINED
WINDS DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS... BANDS OF HEAVY RAIN HAVE BEGUN TO SPREAD
ONTO THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. STORM TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 10 TO 20 INCHES
ARE POSSIBLE IN ASSOCIATION WITH ISIDORE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED
STATES DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS... THESE RAINS COULD CAUSE LIFE-
THREATENING FLOODS... TIDES ARE RUNNING 1 TO 2 FEET ABOVE NORMAL ALONG MUCH
OF THE REMAINDER OF THE GULF COAST... AND THIS COMBINED WITH LARGE SWELLS
GENERATED BY ISIDORE COULD CAUSE SOME COASTAL FLOODING AND BEACH EROSION...
THESE STORM TIDES WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE IN THE WARNING AREA DURING THE
NEXT 24 HOURS..."

RECON Fix From Member W. Sanford Smith III (thanks!):
The last vortex message from recon indicated only a maximum of 40KT flight
level wind at a range of 158 NM from the center fix. The forcasts say
reintensification, but it's not happening just yet.
